The Student of the Battousai
Chapter 10
Yahiko and Inuyasha struggled as Taski's men forced them to the cells below deck. Their swords were taken from them, and their hands were tied. But the two boys tried their hardest to escape the grasp of the two enforcers. Only Karou and Megumi were calm.
"Stop it you two, that isn't helping," Karou whispered to them.
"What do you want us to do? Let them take us to the cells?" Inuyasha shot back. One of the men hit Inuyasha on his back with the base of his spear.
"Keep it moving," he said. Inuyasha just growled. Soon they reached the cells and were forced inside. The only sound was the sound of the slam when the guard slammed the door. Inuyasha was with Karou, who was in the corner. Inuyasha had never felt so trapped, so boxed in. He kicked the far wall, shook the bars, anything he thought of that could be an escape route.
"Inuyasha just stop it's no use," Karou said to him after a while.
"It's better than just sitting here and waiting for Taski to take full control," Inuyasha said, and banged on the bars.
"Hey quiet down in there!" the guard said, and knocked Inuyasha back with his spear butt.
"If I wasn't in here, and I had my sword, you would be meat for the dogs once I'd done with you!" Inuyasha growled.
"Inuyasha stop it, if Kenshin could beat these guys what hope would you have?" Karou asked, and sighed. Her sword was taken away as well. Taski had taken all hope from them, and now they all had limited options.
"That guy didn't defeat Kenshin with brute strength; he used his injured shoulder as his advantage! So Kenshin could of beaten him," Inuyasha said, and kicked another wall.
**************
"Yahiko stop!" Megumi told the young boy. Yahiko was doing the same as Inuyasha, banging on the walls, and bars. Stomping on the ground, sometimes he even ran into the closest wall.
"I can't stop, not when that monster is in control!" Yahiko said, and rammed into a wall.
"We need to wait and see how things play out," Megumi said.
"That maybe fine for you, but I can't just sit here, and wait for disaster to happen. We have to stop Taski, before he sells the products to gangs, and pirates!" Yahiko said.
"Yahiko there is nothing we can do now. For now we are at Taski's mercy," Megumi sighed.
"No, I won't give in so easily! This cell has to have a weakness somewhere!" Yahiko said started pounding on the walls.
***********
Meanwhile as the waves started to crash on the island, a hand stuck out of the water. Soon Kenshin surfaced, and slowly walked onto the sand of the beach on the island. He fell on the sand, out of breath. After he was thrown overbroad he literally had to swim with one arm since his shoulder was still too damaged. He laid out on the sand panting with his sword at his side. He looked at the ship.
'Ms. Karou, Ms. Megumi, Yahiko, Inuyasha,' he thought. He gripped his sword, and slowly got up with the help of hid sword. He was about get back in the water when he heard a noise in the trees of the island. He looked around, and heard the noise again. He faced the trees, and prepared for the worse as the noisemakers soon emerged.
**********
Inuyasha punched the left wall, and sighed. The cell was harder to escape from than he thought. He slid down next to Karou.
"Give up?" she asked.
"No," Inuyasha said simply. He always had a problem with admitting when to give up. And that sometimes got him in trouble. He banged his head on the right wall one last time. He sighed and sat down.
"Now do you give up?" A soft growl was all Karou needed to know. Inuyasha looked back at the wall. He gasped when he saw it starting to crack. He jumped to his feet.
"Karou look!" Inuyasha said excitedly. Karou got up, and looked at the wall. She gasped and saw the cracks.
"All that banging you did must of done must have weakened the wall," Karou concluded. Inuyasha nodded. And started punching and kicking the wall as hard as he could. He knew this was progress.
**********
"Megumi look!" Yahiko said when he saw the cracks.
"Cracks. The wall must be weaker than I first thought," Megumi said as Yahiko punched the walls. Soon the crack got bigger until there was a small hole, small enough for a finger to pass through.
"Man it's not big enough yet," a voice said.
"Inuyasha?" Yahiko said through the hole.
"Yahiko! This is perfect! Once we get through we can escape and free the other prisons!" Inuyasha said.
"Then what?" Karou asked.
"What are you talking about?" Yahiko asked.
"Even if we do escape, Taski is still stronger than all the passengers, and crewmembers combined. How can we beat him?"
"Look we can all escape to that island and regroup!" Inuyasha said.
"Do you know how many we might lose? There are children on board as well! I refuse to put them in danger," Megumi said. Inuyasha and Yahiko sighed, they didn't think of that part.
"We just need to wait alright?" Karou said to Inuyasha. For once, he agreed with her on this one.
**************
Warriors with spears, and axes soon surrounded Kenshin. They wore a red war paint, and carried short swords. Many of the warriors had long black hair in a ponytail like his. Next to their short swords were small pouches. Their leader, who was the tallest, walked up to Kenshin.
"Now what business do you have here?" he asked.
"I mean no harm, that I don't I was only using your island to rest," Kenshin replied. The leader just looked at him, his face unreadable.
"I do not trust you. Strangers have come here before, and killed our people," he said.
"Pirates I bet. Please, I was about to leave, because my ship has been taken over by most likely the ones are responsible for killing your people! They have captured my friends, and are holding innocents in captivity. There are few warriors to help. I ask of you, no I beg of you help me," Kenshin begged, and got on his knees. The warriors just looked at Kenshin, without saying a word. Soon the leader reached behind him, and grabbed a horn. He blew three loud blasts, and hundreds of warriors surrounded them on the beach.
"You are the first stranger to show us true respect on our island, we will be proud if you lead us into battle," the leader smiled. Kenshin got up, and smiled as well. The leader called on the women to bring the boats. Soon the small army was fully on the boats, and soon they were heading towards the ships.

What seemed like days to the small group were only a few hours when Burtis opened the doors.
"Taski wants to see all of you," Burtis said with Butch behind him with the other prisoners. Their hands were soon tied together, and forced to the deck.
"What the hell do you want?" Inuyasha growled, but was hit on his back with a spear butt.
"I only offer a chance to you people. Join me, and company, and I will set you free. If not, your food rations will be cut," Taski said. Yahiko growled.
"You can't do this!" he yelled. Taski just chuckled.
"Of course I can, I am in charge, so who's up to it?" Surprisingly the captain and some crewmen stepped up. Mothers with children stepped up as well. Soon almost everyone was on Taski's side except Inuyasha, and the small group.
"I can't believe you people would agree to this!" Inuyasha said.
"Live with it boy, these people have chosen why don't you. Me or hunger?"
"I'd rather sit in those dungeons, and die a horrible death by starvation!" Inuyasha spat.
"Fine, take them away," Taski, said. The men were about to take them away when arrows shot out of nowhere, and killed them. Everyone looked to side as ropes suddenly were thrown up on the mast. Hundreds maybe thousands of strange warriors climbed on board. Another rope was thrown up, with the possible, and Kenshin followed soon after.
"Kenshin!" Karou said happily.
"Attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the leader shouted.
"Don't just stand there kill them!!! Kill them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Taski ordered. Then Taski's men and the warriors from the island as well as Kenshin were all charging into battle.
AN: Oh yes! What a great start for a great battle! But this exactly what Kenshin wanted to avoid, a battle between Taski and innocents. Will Kenshin be able to stop Taski before things get out of hand? Will he and his small group be able to take control of the ship, and take it back on course? And will Inuyasha still become a framer after this battle? You just have to read the next chapter of The Student of the Battousai! SEE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
